your calculation is fill-ups devided into total miles..?? interesting variation on the MPG's...thats great range..!!

[ARtraveler]

Me too! No problem getting two hundred miles plus out of each tank--if I want to. I believe the most I did was 226 and was pretty much sucking air at that point.

My overall miles per gallon seems to be between 39 - 41. It goes down for some reason now that the weather is cooler here.

I am still riding for the fun of it, and good mpg is just an added bonus.

I've gone over 200 before, but not often. My MPG is all over the place and I just can't count on what it might be for any given drive. I can't see a correlation to trailer/no trailer, city, highway, etc. I just watch the gauge and look for a station when it gets near a quarter or less.

Total miles, divided by number of fuel stops.
But m.p.g.?
I've got that as well.
8,601 miles
217.711 gallons
39.51 mpg

I agree. I seem to be getting about 185 or 190 miles between fill-ups.
It also depends on whether or not I'm riding as a daily commuter or taking it for a long spin.

Just my opinion. I could be wrong, and I'm sure someone here will let me know.

What is your average speed. I usually run between 70 and 75 MPH and pray that I don't get stopped. (he-he)

I am most certainly, a "Low & Slow" rider...
I'm usually under the posted speed limits by a couple of mph; I'm just never in that much of a hurry!

[SpyderAnn01]

You need to get out more, we had that many miles and gallons on one trip.

[DJFaninTN]

post less ... ride more

[ES44AC]

I only have 1330 miles on my 2015 RTS Sm6 ,I'm getting 32-34 mpg so far.

[ronrico]

I agree that the mileage that Im getting is all over the scale. The best was 37mpg. I travel at the speed limit and above. I have just look at the mileage and then start looking a a gas station. My 2014 I fill up twice for every three times I would fill up my 2011. I just got my 2014 in late April and already have 9000 miles on it.

Yeah, but it did take 26 days!

[mdr146]

I have a 2015 RT-S SE6 with 2600 miles on it. We just got back from our first trip with it where we covered 800 miles in 3 days. I was riding solo and my wife was on her own bike. I averaged 33.4 mpg for the trip with an average speed about 70-73 mph. (We were among the slowest vehicles on the road.)

Except that I still have to work...
...AND have an old house, with a big yard to try and maintain.

A wise man that will live many "Moons" and get better gas mileage.

How milage on the odometer affects mpg/tank hasn't been discussed. My story is almost identical to yours. Another factor that is not mentioned is are these high mpg reports done in ECO mode, or not?????? When I'm on the super slab, I'm in ECO. In the city, I disengage it.

[bobgeorge]

I just started using Fuelly. I just used it for 2nd fill-up and it says I got 31+ mpg. Not as good as must people. I usually ride a lot of city or avg 75 per hour on the highway. I live around DC so you have to get your speed up or get ran over.

Brag on Brothers all, while I'm stuck on 27mpg. I do ride a tiny bit aggressively, and enjoy every minute of it. If I wanted bragging rights on gas mileage I'd drive a Fiat 500!

They ARE a fun little tooter!
But my Missus had a MINI that got 42 mpg, and Sonny-Boy drove a Ford Fiesta that regularly returned better than 45 mpg...
I thought that he was lying about the fuel mileage, until I drove it, and got 48 mpg.

[DC1]

I couldn' t get some of the mileages posted here if I drafted an 18 Wheeler.. Mine is the SM6 and on a trip 30 MPG is a pipe dream..

But it is still a great way to travel regardless..
